The VORTRAN-APM (Airway Pressure Monitor) is a battery (9 VDC) operated, portable, self-contained device that is
connected to the patient via the connection kits (various configurations) to monitor cy cling conditions of resuscitators,
such as the VORTRAN Automatic Resuscitator.

MONITORS: The APM is designed to monitor the operation of the VARdevice when it is connected to a patient. The APM will
display airway pressure like a pressure manometer. The LCD shows Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) and Positive End Expiratory
Pressure (PEEP) in cm-Hp. Other respiratory functions such as Respiratory Rate (RR) in breaths per minute, Inspiratory Time
(IT) and Expiratory Time (ET) in seconds, and I:E Ratio are also displayed on LCD using the same airway pressure signals.

On the first screen, LCD shows: On the second screen, LCD shows:

ALARMS: The APM alarm facilitates monitoring of the patient's respiratory functions and alerts clinicians of any abnormality.
Non-cycling Alarm: The APM provides a high priority audible alarm when the

device detects a stop in cycling. The red LED flashes at 1.4 hertz and LCD display s

NONCYCLING ALARM on the second line simultaneously. Alarm limits: adults > 15
seconds; pediatrics >8 seconds.
High Rate Alarm: The APM provides a high priority audible alarm when the respiratory

rate reaches preset limits. The red LED flashes at 1.4 hertz and LCD display s HIGH RATE

High Pressure Alarm: The APM provides a high priority audible alarm when the

device detects pressure above preset limits. The red LED flashes at 1.4 hertz and LCD
HIGH PIP ALARM
displays HIGH PIP ALARM on the second line simultaneously. Alarm limits: adults >50

Low Battery Alert: When a change of battery is required (below 7 VDC), an audible
IT: X.X ET: X.X
indicator provides one BEEP every 45 seconds and LCD flashes LOW BATIERY on the
LOW BATTERY
second line at same frequency. Alarm limits: battery > 7 VDC.
